BRAVE 105 x Alash Pride Main Event | Solomonov vs Hwende for Featherweight Gold
BRAVE CF 105 x Alash Pride 123: Solomonov vs Hwende Headlines Almaty
BRAVE CF returns to Kazakhstan with a real championship main event, teaming with Alash Pride for BRAVE CF 105 x Alash Pride 123 in Almaty. The card is built around one fight: Omar Solomonov vs Nicholas Hwende for the undisputed BRAVE featherweight championship.
The matchup, Hwende vs Solomonov, has the clean title-fight hook BRAVE likes: interim champion trying to remove the asterisk, former bantamweight champion trying to make history in a second division. Solomonov wants to cement himself as the true featherweight king. Hwende wants to prove he is not just moving up — he is moving up to take over.
Solomonov Wants the Undisputed Crown
Solomonov enters this fight with interim gold already attached to his name, but interim belts always come with unfinished business. This is the fight that can turn his title run into something much cleaner. Beat Hwende, and there is no split conversation, no “but who is the real champion?” debate. It becomes his division.
That pressure can sharpen a fighter or tighten him up. Solomonov has to fight like a champion without chasing the finish too recklessly. Hwende is experienced enough to punish impatience, and five-round title fights can expose fighters who get emotional early.
Hwende Chases Two-Division BRAVE History
Hwende’s side of the story is just as strong. A former BRAVE bantamweight champion fighting for featherweight gold is a legacy move, not a random weight-class change. If he wins, he becomes a two-division BRAVE champion, which puts him in a different category inside the promotion’s history.
That makes this more than just another featherweight title fight. Hwende is chasing proof that his championship level travels upward. Solomonov is trying to show the featherweight belt belongs with him permanently. That is the tension that makes the main event work.
Alash Pride Adds the Local Championship Layer
The co-promoted structure matters too. This is not BRAVE simply dropping into Kazakhstan with an outside card. Alash Pride gives the night a local spine, especially with Alexey Meshkov vs Asyljan Tasket. Their fight, Meshkov vs Tasket, brings a strong regional title-fight feel underneath the global BRAVE main event.
The card also has more names worth tracking. Ismail Khan vs Dias Erengaipov, listed as Khan vs Erengaipov, gives the lineup another international matchup. Sardor Khudoyberdiev vs Rauan Bekbolat, or Khudoy vs Bekbolat, adds another Central Asian fight with real movement behind it.
Why This Main Event Matters
BRAVE CF has built much of its identity on international cards, cross-border champions, and fighters moving through different regions instead of staying locked inside one market. This Almaty event fits that perfectly. You get a Ukrainian interim champion, a Zimbabwean former champion, Kazakhstan’s Alash Pride presence, and a title fight that actually changes the featherweight picture.
That is why Solomonov vs Hwende is the fight to watch. It is undisputed gold, two-division history, and a major Kazakhstan fight night all in one.
